Irish Soda Bread (found on AllRecipes.com

We tried this for St. Patricks Day and it is going on our menu list for sure!  It was super easy and incredibly tasty!

1 c skim milk
2 T distilled white vinegar
2 c all purpose flour ( I didn't try whole wheat - if I do, I will probably use the whole wheat pastry flour)
1 T white sugar
1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t salt

Stir together the milk and the vinegar and allow to sit for 10 minutes to curdle. Preheat oven to 400.  Stir together flour, sugar, soda and salt.  Gradually stir the curdled milk into the dry mixture until the dough just comes together.  Pour onto a well floured surface and knead a few times (this is a very different experience - it is like kneading air!).

Shape into a round loaf, cut an x shape on the top of the loaf.  Bake at 400 for 25 - 30 minutes. I started checking it at 20 minutes.  It will be golden brown when it is done.

Makes 1 loaf (about 10 slices)
